Namaste jumped following news that its subsidiary CannMart has received an order for pre-rolled cannabis from the British Columbia Liquor Distribution Branch (BCLDB).

Cannabis producer Leviathan Cannabis Group Inc (CSE:EPIC) also jumped 15.3% higher at C$0.38 after it announced its expansion into Colombia.
